Marion County Court Upholds Mental Defective Ruling
The West Virginia supreme court today affirmed a Marion circuit court decision dismissing a petition that Mrs. Ruth T. Dowden be declared mentally defective. The case, brought by Florence Dowden Wood and Rolena Dowden Core, sought to entrust Mrs. Dowden’s estate to her son, alleging mismanagement, but the court ruled the proceeding concerns mental status only and evidence of finances and conduct of the son is irrelevant. Earlier, Navy messages intercepted via commercial channels claimed the Robin Moor was torpedoed, though no official confirmation was available.

Raleigh County commissioners cut the circuit clerk's office budget to 5640 dollars plus 245 to cover an overdraft. Hunter appealed, arguing capricious action, but the appellate court upheld the commissioners. Judge Lovins said fixing a budget is not a judicial function and the 1939 act attempting to grant circuit courts similar appeal jurisdiction is invalid.
